@TPrJruM-lnr: very plausible. The decade-old affair (ended long ago) was not strong enough on its own to cause the sudden departure.
This was the straw that broke the camel's back. The BOD needed actionable acts from BK to get rid of him after the bad acquisitions, SEC investigation and other problems. This relationship with an employee was against the written, explicit rules, so he couldn't wiggle to avoid being forced to resign.
There is some speculation that this "middle manager" is still employed at the main Chandler facility, and has moved around over the years to eliminate suspicions. If true, maybe her employees can rat her out, too, and help remove this corruption from Intel management.
Assuming the articles are correct, what did the whistle blower want from digging out the old affair?
Intel HR op.
To @TPrJruM-lpv
It’s possible that the this was not his ex getting fed up. It’s possible this was an internally engineered way to get rid of BK in the wake of his SEC investigation and/or for other reasons.
In the big picture, the BOD did not exhibit maturity to not hurt a company that is already struggling on multiple counts. It does not need a slanderous headline, followed with loss of image and drop in stock price. As someone put it, it was probably done so as to shift all focus to BK from the company.
More importantly, what was the board doing when they hired him in the first place. This is a company in which every $100 ticket between OR and SC goes through SV level approvals and every 2 line bug fix is micromanaged by a half a dozen senior managers.
Why did they not vet his background when they made him the CEO in the first place, (assuming the "10 year old" love connection was true)? Why only now? WSJ is doing a cover-up job for someone - either the BOD, or BK himself.
Well, let's say this and the WSJ are correct. Why now? Did the ex get fed up with something and blow the whistle? Or threaten to go to the Press? And can we now assume she was in TMG?
This is a fun parlor game.
"Nothing new in the article other than what has already been posted by WSJ" - that means the news is NOT fake. You are the troll posting BS here.
You must work for Intel HR trolling the forum. Same fake news posted over and over colluding the truth. Nothing new in the article other than what has already been posted by WSJ. Intel must be hiding something really big to have troll like you spreading fake news
